In these ways, From The Water largely succeeds in captivating our imaginations.

An annual holiday tradition, Ross Petty Productions’ panto takes the stage in Toronto
This year’s Ross Petty holiday production at Toronto’s Elgin Theatre is a re-imagining of The Wizard of Oz, and it does not disappoint, thanks to the endearing characters, brightly coloured costumes and set, and jabs at politicians. We’re happily taken along the yellow brick road, while we watch Dorothy (spirited Camille Eanga-Selenge) make the world a better place.
